The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible, but students repeatedly say it requires steady reading, many papers, careful formatting, and tolerance for slow grading.
Online students describe a harder path to an A, while some in-person students say showing up and completing work can be enough.
Is the course easy?
The course content is reading- and writing-heavy, with abstract essay expectations and fast assignment pacing for many students.
Online reviews emphasize confusing assignment structure, while in-person reviews more often mention discussion and office-hour support.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is often useful or participation-based, but strict mandatory attendance is not consistently proven across reviews.
In-person reviews mention participation and showing up more directly, while online reviews focus more on deadlines and assignments.
Is this professor recommended?
Most recent students do not recommend her because the workload, slow grading, and unclear feedback outweigh her supportive traits.
Online recommendations are especially poor, while in-person recommendations are split between strong praise and strong warnings.
